Default 6'7" and looking for a glider

If you can fit in an ASW 20 with the seat back out, I have a Pegase that
I will likely be selling in the spring. Same fuselage more or less,
depending on who you talk to.

I can confirm that Centrair built ASW-20s under license (many fitted with
a lifting panel as standard) and didn't renew the license when it
expired. Instead they rolled out the Pegase, which is basically an ASW 20
with new wings, which have a different section and no flaps. The fuselage
is tweaked slightly. The cockpit air intake is at the nose, the NACA
ducts under the wing are faired over (if you look carefully at a Peg you
can see where they were on the 20) and a lifting panel is standard.

The ASW-19 has the same fuselage, so if you're comfortable in one of
these, you'll be right at home in the other two, give or take a flap
lever!

The late-model Pegs (Pegase 90) have fully self-connecting controls and
somebody in Europe is or was converting 101s to self-connecting - I've
seen one or two round my club.
